Sacred Heart Catholic Church, at Ely and Winthrop Streets in Hartford, was erected by a congregation of German immigrants who first organized in 1872. The church began with a basement chapel, designed by Michael O’Danahue and completed in 1893. The Gothic structure with yellow brick facade was completed by architect George A. Zunner, Sr. and was dedicated in 1917. Today, the church has a primarily Puerto Rican congregation.
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Hartford (1917)
First church my parents took me to way back in the late 50s
I use to attend and worked there as a little girl…loved father Peter Rozazza, I go back to the days of father Richard and father Tom…..
So many good and bad memories Peter Rozazza was my favorite priest I still remember how nice he was to me I have nothing but bad memories of Father Tom.
Do any of you remember Father Albert? Unsure of his last name.

Lilybeth,
Which Fr. Tom are you referencing? Goeckler or Gettry? Can you tell me about your bad memories of Fr. Tom? I have some too.
Ron, above message, asked about Father Alberto. I would love to find him, but I also can’t remember his last name. He was a wonderful friend to my mother, who is gone now. Anyone remember Fr. Al’s last name? Last I heard was that he was back in Spain.
